3ketiasylCoAta
3ketiasylCoAta is a hypothetical biochemical compound that would arise from the combination of a 3-ketoacyl group and coenzyme A (CoA). In biological systems, acyl-CoA molecules are crucial intermediates in various metabolic pathways, including fatty acid metabolism and the citric acid cycle. The "3-keto" designation indicates the presence of a ketone functional group on the third carbon atom of the acyl chain. Therefore, 3ketiasylCoAta would represent a thioester linkage between coenzyme A and a 3-ketoacyl moiety.
The formation and breakdown of such compounds are characteristic of anabolic and catabolic processes. For example,
